We recognise that long-term weight loss requires a shift in the body and mind.
Behaviours are key to long-term weight management as well as sustaining a healthy lifestyle long after nutritional products are no longer required. Our behaviours are a product of our thoughts, so it’s important to understand our mindset in order to impact them.
At OPTIFAST, we recognise this which is why we have created a complimentary Lifestyle Series with Clinical Psychologist Dr Cal Paterson. With 15 audio episodes and complementing worksheets, discover your very own toolkit of strategies designed with your success and mental wellbeing in mind.
